If you can't learn to make real estate a passive investment, if this isn't your full time job, then you may not be suitable for land lording .

Explain that it could take a while to turn it over, that you can charge her for the work to get it ready, for advertising, and she would have to pay for all of that plus rent until you find another suitable tenant.  

Then, the law was changed, where the landlord has to give them the choice of either only charging them rent until a suitable tenant is found - or - agree to a flat termination fee of two month's rent.  

My thought is that I'll allow him to break the lease as long as I find a suitable tenant to replace him with and there is no loss of income. apparently he has someone who might be interested in taking over the lease. 

Finding a suitable tenant.I wouldn't rent to anyone that I needed that much from.

If both tenants are on a lease, they should be bound to it until unit is rented to a suitable replacement.

If not, then what are you using to gauge the suitability of each tenant?

You can either just simply let her out of the lease or let her out once you have found a suitable replacement.  

First, congratulations on finding an investment property suitable to your needs!

Simply declined them as suitable tenants due to an incomplete application.GailP.S.
